Along the same line as, but different than, your Whitley Fuel Fire post,

Arson destroy six school buses at Coulee City, by Grand Coulee Dam. I recall posts about school buses being stolen. I expect security is really tight, especially for ‘school buses’ around Grand Coulee.

Yes, I posted about the school buses, but not that article.

Thanks for the link TWhiteBear.

MY OPINION: The security around school buses and schools should be tight.
Period.

All school bus drivers should have a thorough background before driving a school bus and all school buses should be checked each and every time before the kids gets on the bus and after all the kids have left the bus.

“Fire ruled accidental”
By: Scott Hunter 09/13/2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The fire that destroyed the Grand Coulee Dam School District’s bus garage last Saturday was not arson, investigators determined Wednesday.

Coulee Dam Police Chief Pat Collins said they found evidence of a shorted wire in a bus sander system that sparked the blaze that took out six school buses and a driver edcuation car.

With two other arson fires in the school district in the last few months, authorities had been concerned the bus garage fire might not have been accidental.

But local fire, police, sheriff and insurance company investigators determined the hot sander wire to be the cause.”
